T1 defeated G2 Esports with a solid 3-0 to end their European run at the 2024 Mid-Season Invitational today.

The reigning world champions seemed to have learned their lesson after their shaky performances in the tournament thus far. They narrowly won the best-of-five series against G2 Esports in their previous encounter at 2024 MSI, leaving many fans wondering if the Korean giants could adapt to the current meta. But they stepped up on the day and delivered a phenomenal performance to dash G2 Esports’ hopes of a second MSI title.

G2 Esports, who started the match with over 2.2 million viewers, were considered favorites after their impressive 3-0 defeat to Top Esports. Their silver scraps match was the most-watched match in the history of the international tournament, leaving fans eagerly awaiting their revenge today.

While the current meta favors unconventional picks, G2 Esports gave fans what they wanted. They chose spicy picks like Kha’Zix in the jungle, Caps took on LeBlanc, and BrokenBlade countered Zeus’ Camille pick with Jax. That’s where the story of game one changed, as Zeus’ Camille continued to get key kills to secure T1’s winning path. At the same time, Gumayusi’s 8/0/5 KDA flawless Kalista stopped G2 Esports’ assassin picks completely in their tracks.
